Human Versus Artificial Intelligence: Comparing Cochrane Authors' and ChatGPT's Risk of Bias Assessments.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses synthesize randomized trial data to guide clinical decisions but require significant time and resources. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a promising solution to streamline evidence synthesis, aiding study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment. This study aims to evaluate the performance of ChatGPT-4o in assessing the risk of bias in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) using the Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2) tool, comparing its results with those conducted by human reviewers in Cochrane Reviews.
